The Obama administration has lost over 60% of Supreme Court cases!

President Obama roundly celebrated the Supreme Court’s decisions on gay marriage one year ago but overall it has been a rocky term before the court for his administration, winning only about a third of the cases in which it was involved -- and that’s not even counting the major loss in the Hobby Lobby case.

Lawyers said the government traditionally averages about a 70 percent winning percentage before the high court.

Compare that to Obama’s more than 60% losing record.

This is a bit of a surprise because the advantage of a president is so great that the Justice Department’s chief Supreme Court attorney, the solicitor general, has often been called the “10th Justice.”
